Por otro lado, a Coco se le ocurre un plan para proteger a la gente de las sanguijuelas cortina que asolan la ciudad. Consigue la ayuda de muchos magos, pero... ¿de qué se trata? La esperanza de unos puede ser la desesperación de otros. ¿De quién será el deseo que conceda el cielo estrellado?

The story ramps up in the big action climax. Nice that it's a magic-gone-wrong threat, much more creative, and not the usual attacking-army problem; no guys hacking each other with swords magical or otherwise.

It looks like the next volume will get back to what Qifrey's been up to in another part of the forest action, and I'm looking forward to it, as he's my favorite character.

The anime adaptation is just now (Spring '25) dropping, and I am delighted with how closely it's following the manga so far. Very highly recommended.

As ever, start with volume or episode 1.

Ta, L.

The artwork is so intricately detailed and gorgeous. The panel designs are super creative and the ideas for new layouts seem to never end.

🧙🏼‍♂️🪄My favorite moment was when Olruggio (Ollie) confronted the giant leech and said "Kill it with fire!"

Words are not enough to convey the pain this last arc has caused me.

"So long as I have my paper, my ink, and my pen... I can face any danger or hardship. Magic has the power to change the world. And no matter how far away they might be... I can always draw in my mind... the people who care for me, and draw strength from them. So long as I remember... so long as I'm never alone in my heart... I'll have the courage to stand alone."

There were so many amazing quotes in this volume that I almost wasn't sure which one to choose for my hook, there!! Shirahama's writing remains supreme in each and every passing volume!! However, at time of writing the waiting game as begun for me -- I can't believe the next volume comes out in December of 2026! Crying and screaming!!! :'(
At least I'll have the anime to enjoy for a while so my heart doesn't get lonely for Witch Hat <3 Not to mention, I want to check out the new Grimoire edition that's coming out soon!! (Not Sponsored I just love buying books--)

The way that one of the major themes of this volume is how men in power feel threatened by young girls trying to build a better future for themselves and the people around them, preferring instead to seek solace in restrictive rules and traditions that actually stop people from living freely... is just so crazy and beyond relevant to real life. Not to mention masterfully done. I once again praise Shirahama's writing ability to the moon and back!!

Coco has grown into herself in such a beautiful way. At time of writing, the WHA anime is coming out (about 5 episodes out at this moment), so I've been watching and getting a reminder of what Coco was like in the beginning. She was so understandably unsure of herself and hesitant, with the condition of her mother weighing heavily on her mind. But with friends, community, and her found family, she has really blossomed and flourished into a girl who is confident and rightfully believes in herself. I really think Coco is becoming THE "outsider" who will change the order of witches for good, reminding all of the rigid witches of empathy, humanity, and circumstance. Not to mention, the bottom line of magic in the first place -- to bring happiness to all. Coco, you are the best!!!

I also really loved Agott in this volume. I miss Richeh and Tetia, I hope that they get more pagetime soon. Seeing the way Agott and Coco have grown and flourished in their friendship also brings a tear to my eye. So, so proud of them.

The future is in good hands with the children of the world -- that's the feeling that Witch Hat Atelier gives me!!

Ho una notizia buona e una cattiva

Quella buona è che sono quasi in pari con wha!
Quella cattiva è che sono quasi in pari con wha.

Qué angustia todo el tomo 10000/10

[Artemissia G · Rating 4 out of 5]

Je n’ai pas résisté au coffret collector pour avoir, moi aussi, le ver pinceau. Je le trouve très bien fait et tout doux comme tout !
Concernant ce 14e tome, on avance doucement dans l’intrigue et ce que j’ai préféré ici, c’est d’en apprendre plus sur certains personnages, dont ce cher Olugio ! Et comme d’habitude, nos personnages sont tous derrière Coco et ses idées impossibles pour tenter de sauver tout le village. Malheureusement, ce n’est pas du goût de tout le monde. Quelques rebondissements que je n’avais pas vus venir m’ont tenu en haleine jusqu’au bout. Je trouve l’histoire de plus en plus sombre. Les dessins de Kamome Shirahama sont toujours un pur délice visuel.
Bref, je ne me lasse pas de ce manga.

If anything happens to Coco or the girls, we fight!

Im getting really tired of this arc, and it just felt like a lot happened off screen/ out of the blue in this one.

“Just as there’s nothing but despair in can’t, there’s only hope in can. I choose to see magic as hope. I’m not gonna give up just because I can’t do something! I will never let myself succumb to that despair!”

Holy shit! So much happening! Easthies going batshit insane. There’s definitely more of his story to be learned because the way he follows the principles so strictly he’d be willing to overthrow those above him and his own friends! Can’t wait to see where that goes. And Coco and the rest of the girls being the absolute GOATs! They’re so smart, and resourceful, I’m so proud of my children T_T And goodness, Coco and Agott’s relationship is so beautiful. They’ve come so far and they’re truly the greatest duo in this series <3

Atelier lo dejé en su momento en el tomo 5, así que decidí leermelos todos (publicados hasta la fecha en España) y la verdad es que ha sido una GOZADA.
Me encanta, me encanta la historia, los personajes, la magia, y vivo enamorada del estilo de dibujo de Kamome.
En serio, aunque sea todo muy cuqui y haya magia y sean niñes, hay cosas serias y turbias detrás.


Hay que proteger a todos T^T

PD: Mis pesronajes favoritos son Agete y Qfrey <3 (aunque me gustan todoS!!!)

The artwork continues to around me with its creativity and beauty, and just the sheer way it transcends what you are to expect from panels!

I love this story and the way this arc is hitting its climax. I can’t wait to see what happens next! I feel like everyone is really coming together here and I love it!

The Grantaire / Enjolras Moment between Utowyn & Ys, lol.
I love Orugio <3 Wondering where Quiffrey is though.
Ends in a cliffhanger again and now we have to wait 6 months again x.x

[Lauren Stoolfire · Rating 5 out of 5]

The art in this is stunning as usual and I love it here especially as we get to see more action than usual. These kids are really starting to grow up, aren't they? Qifrey and Olruggio are my favorite characters and while we don't see what Qifrey is up to in this installment we do get to see what Olruggio is working on to help. He may not think he's a great model but he means a lot to the kids.

I feel we're getting to the end of this arc, and I'm excited for it! I'm definitely interested to see what the solution actually looks like and if it effects more than what's being planned. There's some fun exploration of fanaticism, something that works so well as an obstacle in this world and story, and one I'm interested to see if it goes further.
